I don't have Lusternia right now or I wouldn't ask, but when is the contest over?

I'm definately not going to finish mine in time, but I'm going to submit it for the art contest anyway.

Wierd.. I swear it all depends on what monitor your looking at it on...

Anyway, I took his images and used the Healing brush tool as well as filters to get his style, so what about it doesn't look like his?


Oh and the contest ends friday.

Definately not going to finish mine in time then. Too bad.

Heh looks like this artisinal is going to be a flood of Portals

I've Updated mine I think I made it more busy.. yay.

I guess yours looks more like... Hmm. It looks different. Yours is lighter, color-wise. I'm color-blind, so it's a fair struggle for me to tell exactly what I'm seeing. I see it, damnit!

Yours looks more like water-color. The background also throws me off, the whole egyptian-style. but I'm seeing a lot of brush strokes that I'm sure are supposed to be flames/dancing light, but, as I said, they look like water-color brush strokes. I don't see that kind of thing in any of his pictures, nor does it remind me of his style. Yours strikes me more what one of my closer friends does, minus the gay bondage and her trade-mark gas-masks.

hmm, it must be the transparencies... I have a fetish for those I think.


But I used Drybrush and Oil "affects" not the watercolor ones, so it must be the transparcies..


I even tried to keep the outline and then colored in look he does. But I've never really tried to copy a style before.
Well, the room says hyroglyphs

It may very well be oil "affects" - it still comes out the same. It has the distinct brush-stroke look, which I aften associate with my six year old cousin's water-color, or said homoerotic paintings by my friend.

Eitherway, I notice a distinction between the two styles. Probably is the transparencies.

I give up.

I'm too lazy to do anymore.

Alger asked me earlier how a frigging oval could frustrate him.

Well, I know now

Here's my attempt anyhoo...

Is it just me, or do the two of these look almost the same?

I think if a bunch of people paint from the same text, trying to match the same style, a certain similarity is to be expected.

I suppose. Just thought it was funny that they were so similar.

Carnage has a full-fledged inferno while I have a little campfire!

Don't look similar to me...

Hmm...

I see the similarity, but I think Gwylifar has the reason.

I still believe that Kaileigh's mimics the style the closest. I still like Jad's and Carnage's - Jad's moreso.

the ONLY similarity I see is a space theme, and even the space themes are different.

The space theme, the firey oval. Simple minds don't see much beyond that. The backgrounds (which are vastly different) are irrelevant. We of greater artistic abilities know the truth for what It is.

Isn't everyone supposed to have a firey oval?

Each oval takes up a different amount of of space in the picture, the flames are different... the the proportions of the oval are even different..

What I meant by my earlier comment is that when we look at the sheer fancyness (wait, is that a word?) of Carnage's portal, beside the fact it won't win because it's a very different style, combined with the fact he won the last artisinal contest...

...what it all adds up to is he's too dangerous to live, and the rest of you need to dispose of him.

Don't know if I should even try anymore, after seeing all these pictures. All I got is my pencil crayons and pastels.
